Introduction
In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, health often takes a back seat—leading to a rise in lifestyle diseases, most notably obesity. Recognizing this alarming trend, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, during his 119th episode of Mann Ki Baat, highlighted the rising concern around obesity. He urged citizens to reduce oil consumption by 10% and emphasized how obesity has become the root cause of many non-communicable diseases.
Building on this important message, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), has launched the ‘Eat Right Quiz on Obesity’ in collaboration with MyGov. This interactive and engaging quiz is a creative initiative aimed at spreading awareness and educating citizens about obesity and healthy lifestyle choices.
